Change, evolution, and even revolution have been core elements in the development of popular music since its birth in the mid-1950s.

• The 1950s gave us rock ’n’ roll.
• The 60s gave us rock, psychedelic rock, flower power, folk, and soul music.
• The 70s gave us disco, funk, punk, and hard rock.
• The 80s gave us modern pop and rock, heavy metal, electronic music, and hip hop.
• The 90s gave us grunge, indie and alternative rock, industrial music, techno, and Britpop.

THE 21ST CENTURY GAVE US NOTHING SO FAR.
